Chapter 421: The Farmer's Market (Part I)

"If it's worthless, buy a souvenir." Wu Chen put the small stone in his pocket, and said with a little regret, when he arrived in Changhua, he didn't buy any bloodstone, which is indeed unreasonable.

The old Zhang Tou and the little girl also seemed to be a little unhappy, so they said, it is still early in the morning, Wu Chen and they have nothing else to do, it is better to take them to the market for a walk.

Yuyan Mountain has always been rich in bloodstone, but in the past, it still belonged to the elegant things played by dignitaries and nobles, literati and scholars, and ordinary people had problems with food and clothing, who was interested in playing with what stone. In recent years, with the take-off of the country's economy, everyone's life has gradually become more comfortable, and there is spare money and interest, which is also the material basis of the national collection fever.

Bloodstone as a stone, naturally popular, more than ten or twenty years ago, there began to be a large mining area, although large-scale transactions, often are directly completed in the mine, but can not stand some of the "general" stone outflow, plus the local people are not vegetarian, as the so-called you eat meat to I gnaw bones, you outsiders can set up machines here, drive a cart to dig stones, we can hoe and shovel no matter how bad we are, there are also digging and digging Dafa, the same contracted mining area, The man who exchanged shotguns.

These scattered outflow of stones, it gradually formed a bazaar, attracted countless individual customers, more than ten years of development, now almost the whole town is a variety of stone trading markets, but where do so many stones come from, so in addition to the local bloodstone, there are many so-called "strange stones" in the neighboring areas. Even among those bloodstones, there are also many fake materials, which are specially used to trap foreign customers, especially Wu Chen, who seem to be young and golden, and who are accompanied by beautiful women, are the best targets.

The old Zhang Tou and the little girl are also kind, and with their locals following, the average chicken and dog thieves don't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Okay!" Wu Chen had this meaning, seeing that Lao Zhang was so enthusiastic, he was grateful and did not shirk. cleaned up, followed behind Lao Zhang, did not drive, and walked directly along the main road of the village to the lively place in the center. The little girl had to rush back to make up for the errand, so she walked back first.

A few people walked on the road out of the village, in the afternoon of winter, it was the time of farming, the villagers got together to chat, saw Lao Zhangtou, all greeted each other, it seems that Lao Zhang's personality is still good, at least there is a little prestige among the villagers.

The avenue is not very long, while speaking, Wu Chen and his party have walked to the nearest market from the village, this bloodstone trading market is mainly based on local villagers, spontaneously established and developed, planned more scattered, almost all rely on the land for the stall, with some simple wooden planks and plastic belts fenced, there are zero stones in it, it is their own stall, all kinds of stalls are everywhere, it looks no different from the farmers' market.

However, there are still some rules, those like Lao Zhangtou, who do not take this as their main business, and have nothing to do to dig some stones up the mountain, are too lazy to grab a good stall, or carry the burden, or use a single-plank car, casually occupy a place in the periphery, and three or more people get together and chat about playing cards.

And those who have something to do with the mining area and can get the stones, most of them occupy a better position inside, and the door panels are spread out, and the furnishings are stacked inside, which is also decent.

The afternoon market was still quite lively, and the cries of prices could not stop ringing in everyone's ears.

"Uncle Zhang......" As soon as Wu Chen and the others approached, someone came up to greet him, a young and strong young student.

"Well, bring the guests over to have a look." Lao Zhang put his hands behind his back and said with some reserve, "Dog, what's the good thing?" Take it all out, I'm a guest with a good eye. ”

The man called Goudan is estimated to be a junior of Lao Zhangtou, and when he called him by his nickname, he didn't dare to say anything, but led them to his stall on the side, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, the guests you brought are naturally the ones who are pressed at the bottom of the box!" ”

After a few steps, he walked to his stall, and the stall was the dog's daughter-in-law, who was sitting on the horse and chatting with a woman in the stall next door, and when she saw them coming, she hurriedly stood up and said hello to Lao Zhangtou.

"Come, look, it's all here!" Dogan smiled and pointed to the stall full of stones.

He has a lot more stones here than Lao Zhang's family, and the quality is not bad from the outside, and some of them can clearly see the lines of chicken blood or other colors.

"Your baby is working very hard this time!" Lao Zhangtou looked at this stone, there must be at least hundreds of pieces, the largest volume is hundreds of kilograms, these are unlikely to be dug up by himself, and he can't help but envy that young people have a way.

Wu Chen and Lao Zhang confessed, shook their hands, and refused the flashlight handed over by the dog's daughter-in-law, it was still early at this time, and it didn't seem to bother, and he didn't have much interest in looking at them one by one, so he squatted down directly and glanced back and forth a few times.

Wang Yuyuan also knew a little bit about bloodstone, so he looked at it on the other side, but the big tooth didn't understand it, and secondly, he didn't have any interest in this thing, so he simply sat on the maza, scattered a cigarette for the old man and the dog, and chatted on the spot.

After about half an hour, Wu Chen finally looked at all the stones, and it took so long, mainly because most of the stones were rough stones, that is, after digging out of the soil, washing off the soil on them, and then putting them out for sale.

Bloodstone is not the same as jadeite, it is all full gambling material, mainly to see the distribution of blood color, some are directly exposed, equivalent to half gambling material or clear material, can be directly processed into products, and some have stone skin or impurities, the appearance does not look much different from ordinary stones, it is not easy to see the blood color inside, which is the same as jadeite full gambling material, you need to "gamble".

In fact, Wu Chen didn't have much interest in those bright materials, the red chicken blood was hanging on the surface, who didn't know that it was a baby, the bid must be high, and there was no room for him to play in the middle.

Fortunately, these are all rough stones, and some of them are still there, so Wu Chen was interested in spending a lot of effort and looked at them one by one.

"That's it." Wu Chen picked and chosen, and finally stopped, pointed to a few rough stones that were put aside and said, "Please make a price." ”

"Picked?" Dogan took a look, and suddenly smiled, there are five pieces of stones, in addition to two smaller ones, the other three are as big as footballs, there should be hundreds of pounds. Their market is a ragtag army at the foot of the entire Yuyan Mountain, and it is completely incomparable with a few large regular markets, and they usually come to it as individual customers, so this is already a relatively large deal.

"So fast?" Wang Yuyuan also looked around, but she didn't pick out anything, she saw that Wu Chen's forehead was sweating slightly, and took out the handkerchief she had brought with her and handed it to him. Although he was accustomed to Wu Chen's "high efficiency", this bloodstone was not quite the same as the jade gambling material, and he had not heard that Wu Chen was familiar with this thing before.

Wu Chen was not polite, took the towel she handed over, wiped his forehead, and said, "Almost, it's too much to pick, that's all there is anyway." ”

Seriously, he can't see it, this bloodstone feels like a jade gambling stone, all relying on "eyesight", but a fatal point is that the jade gambling material is generally relatively large, like a small fist of the whole gambling material, almost no need to look at it!

And like this bloodstone, it is much more trivial, scattered, mostly small materials! You really can't ignore those stones smaller than a fist, maybe there is a big red blood streak inside!

In addition, Wu Chen is actually not too familiar with bloodstone, what to look at the epidermis, it is purely, and in the end, he still has to use his ability to inspect them one by one, and these more than 100 stones are really going to his life, and he suddenly went back to the time when he was lying in the unit and reading too many documents, and he was dizzy and in a hurry.

Dogan took out a pack of red Nanjing cigarettes, scattered a circle, and then lit a fire for Wu Chen, took a puff of himself, and spit out a smoke ring, then squatted down and looked at the gambling materials selected by Wu Chen one by one.

Of the five pieces that Wu Chen picked out, only one was slightly oozing blood from the outside, and the rest didn't look much different from ordinary mountain stones.

Don't look at him as the owner of the goods, but there are so many stones, but they can't be clearly marked one by one, just have a general impression, and then bargain according to the situation at this time.

The dog took a breath, good guy, it's all about gambling! This thing doesn't sell for much, and the few pieces he is most proud of are not in it!

Among these few pieces, the one that sees blood is only a faint trace, neither into a film, nor bright enough in color, and the overall calculation is low-grade goods!

Bloodstone, bloodstone, bleeding is bloodstone, as long as you see red, you can sell it at a good price, if you can have about 30% of the blood, you can be called a high-grade bloodstone, and if you can reach more than 50% of the treasures, the dog egg himself has not seen.

No way, do business, since the buyer picked the goods, he can only give a price, he first looked at the value, the three big ones are bloodshot, about twenty or thirty pounds, if placed elsewhere, the performance is actually very ordinary, just short and tall, these five pieces, it bleeds, near the side, there is a small dark red blood, about the length of the little finger.

Fortunately, on the other side, he was stunned to find a red spot that was less than the size of a fingernail, although the color is not quite the same, this small point is darker, but it is finally red at both ends, and it can barely be sold for a good price!

The two ends of the red bloodstone rough often indicate that there is a blood bag running through the entire stone, which is the prelude to the hair, of course, it may also be that the chicken blood is scattered, just a little bit at these two ends, then you can only blame the person who bought it for daring to lack virtue in his last life.
